General Notes: Husband - Washington Craig


He was born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and lived at Sligo for many years, owning what was known as the "Big Lick farm." He cleared and improved part of that property, upon which the Sligo Furnaces were located. By trade he was a millwright, and after selling his farm at Sligo, in the latter eighteen-forties, he moved to Greenville, Clarion County, where he purchased a tract of timber and a saw- and grist-mill. He tore down the mill and rebuilt it, and operated it for many years; it was later carried on by his eldest son, William T. Craig.
